- The Atlético Madrid Star Was Outstanding Against Real Betis
João Félix, on loan from Atlético Madrid, demonstrated his talent in front of Barcelona fans for the first time on Saturday.
Barça fans witnessed his brilliance as he scored a goal, and helped dictate the attacking flow of the game for 64 minutes in Barcelona’s stunning 5-0 victory over Real Betis on Saturday.
Barça fans eagerly awaited Felix’s full debut after a cameo just before the International break left them wanting more, and he did not disappoint on Saturday. The Portuguese international looked like a perfect fit for the Catalans alongside Lewandowski in attack.

Some Barça fans already think he can become a new talismanic figure in attack, especially since Ousmane Dembélé left the club this summer, and 35-year-old Robert Lewandowski not being as energetic.
It is still unclear if the club will be able to sign the Portuguese attacker permanently, but Felix is already happy with what he has experienced at the club:
“I’m very happy to be back in the starting line-up. I haven’t done this for a long time. I have only good impressions from the game. It’s very easy to play football in this team. My good performance is, first of all, an achievement of the entire team. Also, Positionally, everyone was where they should be. When you have a good structure and the ball moves well and quickly across the field, space and goals appear.
If he continues in the same vein of form, he will greatly help the team’s European and domestic ambitions this season. It promises to be another exciting chapter in João Félix’s already tumultuous and controversial career.
